Well-known for her murals in Chemainus,
BC, Sandy's paintings in oils, watercolours and acrylics captured the
mood of her subjects in a magical way, whether they be seascapes,
landscapes, portraits or imaginative renderings of the cosmos.

Sandy
loved sailing the island waters. She designed and built her own
sailboat, and later undertook the building of a sleek powerboat, which
she named after her grandmother, Eugenie. Faced with the relentless
progression of Parkinson's disease, Sandy's courage and spunk could not
be defeated.

In her 50's, Sandy unleashed her intelligence, curiosity
and remaining energy into the study of astronomy. Her handmade
telescopes earned awards from local star-gazing clubs.

Sandy passed away
peacefully at the Chemainus Health Care Centre with family and friends
by her side. She was predeceased by her parents, Tom and Irene, and by
her brother, Tom. She is survived by brothers Edward and Joseph, her
cousins, and by a host of close friends. Special thanks go to the
wonderful staff at the Chemainus Health Care Centre and to friend
Marilyn Baines for their unfailing care of Sandy.

A celebration of
Sandy's life will be held at a later date. Donations to The Parkinson's
Society may be made in Sandy's memory. Sandy, you have touched us with
your incredible Spirit. Journey well, dear one, until we meet again.

Sandy Clark was a local artist who was a member of the RASC in the late
1990's.

Time

This is a painting about time. Taking time to step off our
planet's surface and leave behind the base line linear perspective
of conventional art - then enter a visual realm where the only
reference point is the time signature of the last photon to touch
ones eye.

Reading from right to left - the ancestral profile "the
viewer" creates an irregular vertical column a "time
twister" and uses it to justify the concept that (for her)
all of time is happening at one moment.

The rest of this space-scape is simply the fun of playing
with the "maybe-ness" of some of the dazzling visual
occurrences that the universe and ones imagination create.

The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada is dedicated
to the promotion of astronomy and its related sciences; we espouse the
scientific method, and support dissemination of discoveries and
theories based on that well-tested method.
